[QUOTE="klmno, post: 169350, member: 3699"] Janet, I'm sorry you are feeling this way. My advice can't be worth a lot here since it's not exactly like I have experience with long-term relationships. But being an outsider looking in, it looks like BOTH of you need to do a little giving in. I don't hear you asking for too much. He isn't really either- but he does need to realize that the circumstances aren't what they used to be. My ametuer opinion is that you don't expect ALL his spare time- just some more than what you are getting. And he probably knows that but- the male thing- is afraid if he gives an inch, he'll lose it all. Since you know him so well, would it do any good to talk to him about a compromise solution? (He cuts down the fishing time to have more time with you and/or helping out, but he doesn't give it up altogether?) Would he go for marriage counseling (not that this seems to be a huge, make-it-or-break-it problem)? I wish I could be of more help. Hang in there- I'm sure those with more experience in this will have better suggestions. [/QUOTE]
